KYRA.When the Godfather had demanded for her, demanded she abandon everything she was on and get back to the Manor, She knew it had something to do with Adler.And she was right."He stopped in the middle of a gunfire. Can you believe that?" Domenico roared, "Can you,"Yeah, she could, but she wasn't about to tell him that.Since she left Campania a week after Lily died, it had been one gruesome news to another; she knew it was going to get this bad. They said he had lost the will to live, they said he kept having a face-off with death willingly, and they told her the guilt was eating him alive.But she wouldn't know, not when she was in Rome, and every day she wanted back to Campania, see how the goofball was doing and sit with him cause there was no use trying to get him back on his feet.Now she stood before Domenico and could swear she saw his hands shake, but he held the wrap firmly, staring into space, the disappointment written all over his face.Opposite him, with a desk sepa

ADLERHis torment commenced with an insatiable yearning to rewrite the past, replaying the moments he had let her go. However, in his nightmares, he took a different course...**"I'm willing to do anything. Just tell me what you want,"****"I want you to stay, Lily, please stay,"**Each time he moved to embrace her, there was a sudden drift, the ground splitting and pulling her away. Despite his desperate pursuit in the dream, he never managed to catch her.What was the essence of making him relive his dread? Another punishment added to the already stacked pile? Alright, the universe better keep them coming.The harsh brightness against his shut lids had him flinching, and with an elbow, shielding his face contorted with a frown, Adler groaned, "Abbassa quella dannata tenda, stupido animale."His whining was obeyed, much to his surprise, the room becoming dim once again. His frown deepened; only Rune could pull this torment, then tell him to go fuck his feelings and get a haircut. He

ADLERThere used to be a time when he woke up to the sight of her sleeping; he remembered tracing the outline of her face and being able to tell if she was having a nightmare or a candy dream. But these days, his first thought was if the bottle was full.Today, it wasn't. So, throwing a shirt and leaving the buttons unattended, with the walls and rails partially supporting his steps, he was out of the room and moving towards the minibar. He could hear the tiny whispers from the housekeepers, their look in his direction driven by awe. But he understood them; it wasn't every day one spotted a live zombie right before you and, instead of seeking brains, ignored your existence.Reaching the door, he pushed it open, and, coming to the sight of the filled bar, he sighed in satisfaction.Months ago, beating Rune in his own thing never crossed his mind, but here they were, and no, the liquor did nothing to subside the pain, but it felt good to be unconscious for a while.Feeling the shift in

LILYI turned to her with a frown, "It makes me look bigger.Alessia exhaled her frustrations into her palms, and, looking at me, she sang my fear again, "You can't keep hiding your pregnancy, Lily. You're gone past that stage, and that gown is perfect."Scowling at her, my hands unconsciously flew to my bump, and realizing what I just did, my scowl was turned to myself.I never believed I would get this obsessed with a situation I wanted to get rid of, a situation I felt was a misfortune, for when I thought I was free of Adler, this little guy was kicking.__**FOUR MONTHS AGO**__"...You don't understand; she's dead. She died last week."My heart stopped beating. The phone pressed to my ear, threatening to fall off my hold, as I listened to the woman sob over the phone. She couldn't be serious. Was this the wrong number? Who the hell was she, and why was she playing this prank?"Excuse me, who are you? Clare can't be dead; I SAW HER WEEKS AGO!"It was a lot of heartache for one day;

KYRA"... I'm having a hard time believing they'd be so open in having that gathering in Campania, but it's the last place anyone would check, so it has some actuality," Adler said.Kyra restrained the frown from spreading across her face as the annoyance bubbled. She couldn't believe he gaslit her about being so 'Domenico,' then went behind her to investigate.Adler, seated in an armchair, had a pale complexion from avoiding sunlight for weeks, and his bloodshot eyes revealed signs of fatigue. Restless and gaunt, he appeared worse.But although looking a wreck, she was proud of him for having his instincts ringing when things weren't right; it still didn't mean she was okay with him pretending not to take her seriously."After some digging, we discovered that these meetings took place at Lucid on specific nights—perhaps once a month and during the late hours of the night. This provides insight into the nature of the individuals we're dealing with." He deposited a stack of papers on t

KYRA.She wasn't ready for this.Kyra fought the urge to yank the hanky from her purse and protect her nose from the stank hovering around her. Instead, at every turn she took, she groaned, "Adler!"Pointing out a reason he had kicked her into the smelly wild was easy, but he could have warned her at least. She wasn't prepared for it to be in a fish-smelling town, in which its inhabitants sized her from under large hats.She was just a few steps away from the intended bar, and she couldn't wait to get this mission done and get the hell out of there. Still, she found herself tracing the outline of her gun, held in place by her skirt, ready for her first made-up scenario to launch at her.In a bid to blend, she had gone the extra mile in wearing a long brown flowing skirt and a plain shirt sleeve shirt, but here she was standing out, women in bum shorts giving her skirt a pointed look and men observing her every step.Pulling out a hanky would be the ultimate move in showing she was not

He scaled over brick rubble, and when he thought he lost them and made up his mind to get a shovel for a little dead body, he heard the whining, "I took nothing, ma'am, you have the wrong thief."Kyra's voice followed, "Oh, now you agree you're a thief; I enjoy progress, the same way I'll relish cutting your hands.""Let me go! Your crazy; somebody help!"Rune followed the noise, and it took him to another rubbled fence, and this time, there they were.Kyra held the kid by his collar and pinned him to a wall. The terror on the boy's face was palpable as he stared into hers, and what was the bet Kyra was doing all she could to describe the horror she wanted to inflict on him.Jumping down the residue, he hurried towards them and quickly yanked Kyra off the kid and shielded him, feeling the little one peek under his arm. He wasn't sure how to tell him they were both helpless in this situation."Kyra, what are you doing? You can't harm a kid."But she was just as ready to face him. Squar

LILY"This is why you caught the flu." Sarah snarked. "Did you tell your doctor that you stay outdoors for hours uprooting vegetables you can get at the store?"Looking sideways, I picked up the basket of uprooted carrots. Then I turned to her, sitting in her wheelchair beside Claudine, who was reading a book on the patio."Left to you, I would be sitting on my ass twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and three sixty-five days a year." I yanked my gloves off and threw them into the basket. "Claudia Darling, what are you reading to your grand aunt?"She scrunched her nose. Without looking at me, she grumbled, "It's not important, and it's embarrassing."I gasped, drawing near them, "How can you say reading is embarrassing?""Reading this..." She flipped roughly through the pictured book in frustration, "It's embarrassing. I want the books you read. The ones with the men on them."Despite the cold, I felt the heat rise to my face. Then I joined Sarah in her ongoing laughter, alth
